Short Hills Public Speaking

About Us

The Short Hills Public Speaking group, founded by Vathsaal Madhusudan, Aditya Mittal, Zain Jaffar and Kunaal Chatterjee, is an international Student-Led Organization established in Short Hills, New Jersey.

In modern-day society, the rigid walls between urban and rural areas are still strong and standing. While urban areas have access to multiple opportunities and extracurriculars, rural communities have minimal options. This pattern is evident in developing nations. Our goal is to attempt to allow children in rural areas throughout the globe to enjoy extracurricular activities and provide them with the chance to compete.

The organization, alongside schools, provides students with courses on activities that interest them. These choices provided include English, Debate, and Public Speaking. The group provides the schools with translators if required. Following the course completion, SHPS organizes an event for the students. The said event provides the students with the opportunity to compete and a chance to progress. All courses and events organized by the SHPS will be without cost.

SHPS is committed to training the future of the world. 39.12 percent of the global population resides in rural areas. The group is trying its best to ensure true equality for these communities. Every contribution is a step towards this goal.
